@tharkis: "I found an app in the Android market called rTerm. It's kind of cool in the

I was wondering if Syncterm could be ported to Android? 
On a related note, I'm still waiting for someone to make an android clone of
LORD so I can play it on my phone lol.

Tell that to the rTerm app and qTerm (Which I downloaded last night on my
Ubuntu box.) Instead of the normal blocks you'd see in an ANSI graphic, there
are definitely some form of Asian letter.

I can concur. Also, when you get into the settings and try changing the
encoding to CP437, it crashes the app. Possibly something to let the developer
know.
Haven't found anything better, either.

I'm pretty sure Deuce is happy to port it to any system you donate to 
him. So as soon the sooner you send him an Android, the sooner you get 
your port. :P

i think the big question is what provider is he using and then if anyone
with nolife or lotsa money could mail him a phone.
Dont wanna send him a CDMA phone if he's using Rogers or AT&T

Considering the UI is mainly Dalvic + Android (Java, not to be confused with 
JavaScript), it's unlikely we'll see a direct port.

He uses Verizon... but without a C compiler, he's not going to port SyncTERM
since that would actually be rewriting instead.
Looks like there may be some hope though... but seriously, do you think
SyncTERM would be useful on a phone?
